Abstract: A storage bag includes first and second side surfaces that form an interior of the bag with an opening to the interior. A first closure profile connected to the first side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening has a top edge and includes an interlocking member that extends between first and second sides of the first closure profile forms a lip between the interlocking member and the top edge. A second closure profile connected to the second side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag has a top edge and includes an interlocking member. A first portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a third portion of the lip of the second closure profile, and the third portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a second portion of the lip of the second closure profile.

Abstract: A storage bag has first and second closure profiles adjacent to an opening of the bag. The first and second closure profiles are each provided with a closure member that extends along the length of the respective closure profile, with the closure member of the first closure profile being configured to engage with the closure member of the second closure profile to form a seal for the opening of the bag. The first closure profile further includes (a) a plurality of gripping ridges that extends from the closure member to the top edge of the first closure profile, and (b) a texture that extends in an area between the closure member and the top edge of the first closure profile, with the texture extending continuously (i) in the area between the closure member and the top edge of the first closure profile, and (ii) between each gripping ridge of the plurality of gripping ridges.

Abstract: A zipper for a reclosable bag including an elongated groove profile having two arms which form a general U-shape to define an opening to a channel, and an elongated rib profile opposing the groove profile, wherein a plurality of first segments of the rib profile alternate with a plurality of second segments of the rib profile to create a structural discontinuity along a length thereof, wherein during interlocking the groove and rib profiles, an audible clicking sound of at least 50 dB on average is created during opening and closing.

Abstract: A slider for a closure assembly of a bag. The slider has a pair of finger pads extending from a top wall. Each pad has a surface with a curved portion running from a front end to a back end of the slider, a defined, first curved area extending from the curved portion to an end of the first curved area, and a defined, second curved area extending from the end of the first curved area to a midpoint of the curved portion. The first curved area and the second curved area are defined by different angles at which the respective curved area extends into the respective finger pad. Each finger pad includes a major axis dimension greater than a minor axis dimension to provide an area that fits an average finger size, and a lip region to guide a finger of a user into a finger pad.

Abstract: A composition for repelling insects is disclosed. The composition may include an active component made of (i) a combination of clove oil, geranium oil, and peppermint oil, (ii) a fixative, and (iii) a solubilizer. The composition may include (i) from about 2.5 to about 15 wt. % of an active component made only of (a) from about 0.1 to about 5.0 wt. % of clove oil, (b) from about 0.5 to about 15.0 wt. % of geranium oil, and (c) from about 0.1 to about 15.0 wt. % of peppermint oil, (ii) from about 3 to about 15 wt. % of a fixative, and (iii) from about 15 to about 45 wt. % of a solubilizer.

Abstract: A storage bag has a first closure profile attached to a first side surface, with the first closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the first closure profile. The bag also includes a second closure profile attached to the second side surface, with the second closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the second closure profile. The lips of the first and second closure profiles are visually distinct colors or different shades of a color in order to aid the user in locating the lips.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing having an aperture extending through a wall of the housing, a carbon dioxide delivery device coupled to the housing through the aperture, a non-biological skin substitute substrate, and a heater coupled to the substrate.

Abstract: A packaging device includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion by way of a first fold line. The first portion includes a first primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line and the second portion includes a second primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line. An arm is defined by two cut lines extending from a section of the second portion proximate the first fold line, and ending in a tab that extends from the second primary edge. In a folded state, the first primary edge is aligned with the second primary edge.

Abstract: A system includes a film processing module, a processor, and memory. The processor and memory are in communication with the film processing module. The processor is configured to dynamically coordinate movement of the film processing module relative to a moving web of film and to perform a function on the web of film with the film processing module.

Abstract: A heater arrangement for a volatile material dispenser includes a cylinder defining an opening and a resistor embedded in the cylinder. The dispenser further includes a housing configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The housing includes a first cavity configured to support the heater arrangement. Further, the dispenser is configured such that, when the refill is received within the housing, the opening receives the wick therein so that a radial gap is formed between the heater arrangement and the wick.

Abstract: A spray nozzle assembly includes a rotating spray nozzle and a cap for attachment to a squeeze bottle. The spray nozzle includes at least one exit orifice and at least three sidewall portions. The cap includes an indicator on an upper surface.

Abstract: A volatile material atomizing device comprises a housing having a fan, a fluid outlet, a plurality of air inlets and a plurality of air outlets. The plurality of air outlets are positioned at least partially around the fluid outlet. A fluid reservoir includes a wick and containing a volatile material. The fluid reservoir is disposed within the housing. An atomizing assembly is in fluid communication with the wick and positioned in the housing. The atomizing assembly is configured to dispense the volatile material out of the fluid outlet.
